i've got a problem that my kylix raises several errors up to sigservs
when i try to run two or more threads that create themselves httprios
and query a web service. the same code runs with windows!

I had the some problems using soap clients in multithreaded environments. I have a working solution, allthough I am not sure whether it is the right solution:

• In oxmldom.pas, the handling of GlobalOXDOM is not threadsafe. I changes the declaration to threadvar instead of var.
• The indy components. In my project, when using small packets, the first request is ok, the second inserts extra crlf in the header, the third crashes. I dont have the time to debug indy, so I replaced it with Synapse.

See: From my previous post:

I downloaded the latest source, and made the following changes in SOAPHTTPTrans:

Added:

  procedure SetupSyna(SynaHttp: THTTPSend);
  var
    ContentHeader, ActionHeader: string;
    Protocol, Host, path, Document, Port, Bookmark: string;
  begin
    if (soNoValueForEmptySOAPAction in FInvokeOptions) and (SoapAction = 
'') then
      ActionHeader := SHTTPSoapAction + ':'
    else if SoapAction = '""' then
      ActionHeader := SHTTPSoapAction + ': ""'
    else
      ActionHeader := SHTTPSoapAction + ': ' + '"' + FSoapAction + '"';
    SynaHttp.Headers.Add(ActionHeader);
    SynaHTTP.MimeType := 'text/xml';   { do not localize }
    SynaHttp.Protocol := '1.0' ;
  end;
 
{$IFDEF USE_SYNA}
  procedure PostData(Response: TStream);
  var
    SynaHTTP: THTTPSend;
    WireData: string;
  begin
    SynaHTTP := THTTPSend.Create;
    try
      SetupSyna(SynaHttp);
      WireData := UTF8Encode(DataMsg);
      SynaHTTP.Document.Write(Pointer(WireData)^, Length(WireData));
      try
      SynaHTTP.HTTPMethod('POST', FURL);
      Response.CopyFrom(SynaHTTP.Document, 0);
      finally
      end;
    finally
      FreeAndNil(SynaHTTP);
    end;
  end;
{$ENDIF}
 
And the following change:
{$IFDEF USE_INDY}
    InitURL(FURL);
{$ENDIF}
